Biography

My work uses alcohol ink to explore light, color, and movement as an emotional language. I seek to capture fleeting moments, those brief conversations between control and spontaneity where vibrant hues blend, collide, and settle into compositions that evoke both energy and calm. Each piece emerges through an intuitive process of listening for what wants to emerge, allowing the materials to guide me as much as I guide them.
On plexiglass, light becomes an active collaborator, creating reflections and shadows that shift with the environment. On canvas, I build layered surfaces of paper and texture beneath the ink, creating depth within the work. On paper the vivid colors and subtle transparencies reign.
My art is about celebrating the freedom to color outside the lines, embracing imperfection, and finding harmony in the moments. I invite viewers to find their own stories within the abstract artworks I create.
